highly recommended

This visual and musical masterpiece features Yul Brynner's Academy Award® winning performance, an inforgettable Rodgers and Hammerstein® score, and brilliant choreography by Jerome Robbins. It tells the true story of an Englishwoman, Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), who comes o Siam as schoolteacher to the royal court in the 1860's. Though she soon finds herself at odds with the stubborn monarch (Brynner), over time, Anna and the King stop trying to change each other and begin to understand one another.

The King and I

One of the most wonderful movies made. Yul Brennen is a dashing actor and Debra Kerr was wonderful. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves romance.

A Classic Favorite

This has to be my most favorite musical of all time.

This movie has everything... etc., etc., etc.!!!

The King and I

I have always loved this movie and movies that are similar. I was very pleased that you offered it to be purchased. Deborah Kerr and Yul Brunner cannot be outdone in this. Henry Winkler: we knew him as "The Fonz." Kids today know him as the creator of the delightful and dyslexic Hank Zipzer.(pop quiz)(Interview): An article from: Instructor (1990)

splendid american opera

I was a bit uneasy watching this version as the editing for the square screen makes the film oddly unfamiliar. the peculiar view reminds you how much the medium of wide screen filmmaking was intelligently used.
That quibble aside, this is loaded with pageantry-Aida without the elephants-and some musical turns that have passed into the American repertoire as classics: Shall We Dance, Whistle A Happy Tune and Hello, Young Lovers.
Yul Brenner will be remembered forever for his physical mastery of the role and for virtually inventing the now universally accepted idea that bald is handsomer than hairy. Deborah Kerr struck the right balance between bereaved and confident.
Still, it's much better to get the wide-screen version and play it on the biggest monitor you can find.
